Voltronics has been supplying high performance multi-turn trimmers since 1963. Our range of trimmers are suitable for applications that require high precision, mechanically stable with a high tolerance to vibration and shock. Our success is based on a unique sealed, non-rotating piston design that has become one of the designers preferred choices for demanding applications.
As well as our extensive range of standard products we are able to design and manufacture customized products for our specialty customers. In addition we are able to offer a range of half turn trimmers suitable for less stringent applications, but still providing good stability and voltage handling capabilities.
For more than 30 years Voltronics has been partnered with leading MRI manufacturers, supporting them with the highest quality non-magnetic components. This has grown from just supplying trimmer capacitors to now include a broad offering of non-magnetic components focussed on MRI applications.

J-Series engineering kits are a great way to become familiar with our products. Each kit contains 4 or 5 units of every value. Please be sure to inquire about tuning tools when ordering.* Tuning tools are included with this kit.**Tuning tools are not included with this kit.
Washing Instructions:The J-Series trimmer capacitors can withstand cleaning cycles up to 10 PSI and have been used by customers for more than a decade in many diverse environmental conditions. Without knowing your particular washing or cleaning environment, werecommend these basic guidelines:
For maximum effectiveness, the cleaning process should occur immediately after soldering.
* If a water wash process is used and water does get inside, we recommend that the parts be heated above 100C for a minimum of 15 minutes, so that the water evaporates. After this, the rotor should be turned 1-2 times to redistribute the internal grease.

Dro TunersThe Voltronics DRO Tuner design is based upon the proven tuning mechanisms of its trimmer capacitors. The parts have O-ring sealed front ends, long life, positive stops and low loss. The tuners have
parts have high temperature solder joints. When soldered into your case, there is a hermetic barrier to the inside of your cavity. The part’s O-ring seal keeps moisture and other contaminants from get-ting inside the tuner.

Increasing magnetic resonance applications caused Voltronics to launch an active engineering effort in this field years ago, one that continues today. Due to the severe non-magnetism requirements in these industries, we use only materials that exhibit no measurable magnetism. Commercial brass and plating materials are not accept-able. Our strict traceability and testing regimes insure this essential parameter.
Most of our trimmers are internally sealed so that they withstand immersion in flux and solvents without leaking. Most of our non-magnetic trimmers have been used and tuned at temperatures as low as 4K. Many of our selection of trimmers have been developed for specific customer needs – let us design a high performance trim-mer for your application.

Shelf LifeCapacitors will be solderable for a minimum of one year from date of shipment if properly stored in the original packaging. Dry nitro gen storage is preferable for longer periods.
PrecautionsThe rate of heating and cooling must be controlled to preclude thermal cracking of the devices. Processes, heating or cooling, should not exceed a rate of 20000 per minute. Spikes must not exceed 100°C maximum for any solder operation. Avoid forced cooling or contact with heat sinks, such as conveyor belts, metal tables or cleaning solutions, before the chips reach ambient tem peratures.
Why Rounded Corners?Rounded corners provide uniform termination on these MLC products. The greater surface area improves solder attachment and provides a more uniform adhesion to the board. Rounded corners also reduce the chance of tomb-stoning and mechanical thermal shock types of stress.

Non Magnetic HardwareDue to the severe non-magnetism requirements in the magnetic resonance industries, we use only high purity metals that exhibit no measurable magnetism. Commercial brass is simply not acceptable for these applications. Our strict traceability and testing regimes insure this essential parameter.
We can offer sizes, styles, and lengths beyond those shown in the tables on these pages – such as Cheese Head, Round Head, and
Pan Head Flat Head
Coils also require inserts, pins, and other special shapes that are custom-designed to satisfy the
to quickly and precisely supply custom designs is part of our heritage and we are eager to sample our high quality hardware based on your requirements. As with the screws, washers, and nuts on this and the preceding page, we use only high purity metals that exhibit no measurable magnetism.
